has taken over a gallery,
as
part of a new large-scale exhibit at Australia’s National Gallery of Victoria
in Melbourne, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, created this murmuration,
titled Murmuration
(Landscape). The multi-part winter exhibition at the museum combines Cai’s
contemporary work with the display of a selection of China’s famed
ancient terracotta warriors,
the
installation fills an entire gallery and the birds are suspended to create a 3D
impression of a calligraphic drawing of Mount Li, where the tomb of the ancient
warriors was located,
Terracotta Warriors and Cai Guo-Qiang opens to the
public today and is on view through October 13, 2019,
